Vinkovci Uncovers Massive Geothermal Potential: Studies and Documentation Underway By:  Robert Buluma Vinkovci, Croatia – November 3, 2025 Recent research at the Vinkovci GT-1 well has confirmed significant geothermal potential in the area, positioning Vinkovci as the third Croatian city—after Velika Gorica and Osijek—to record reservoir temperatures above 100°C. These findings continue a successful series of exploratory activities led by the  Croatian  Hydrocarbons Agency (Agencija za ugljikovodike) as part of the project “Preparation and Exploration of Geothermal Potential in the Context of Centralized Heating.” Energy of the Future Beneath Vinkovci Mayor Josip Romić expressed his excitement on social media, stating: "Research has confirmed what we believed from the start—Vinkovci and our region hold enormous geothermal potential. Beneath our feet lies the energy of the future, enabling us to reduce dependency on external factors and fluctuating energy prices. This is ...

Kenya Secures Ksh 6 Billion IFC Loan to Accelerate Menengai Geothermal Project 🚀🌱 By:  Robert Buluma Kenya’s green energy future just received a significant boost!  The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is planning a Ksh 6 billion (~$40 million) loan to accelerate construction at the Menengai Geothermal Project near Nakuru, a cornerstone in the country’s renewable energy ambitions. This funding is earmarked for the construction phase of one of the 35MW Independent Power Producer (IPP) plants within the larger 105 MW Menengai geothermal complex. Once fully operational, the complex is expected to supply clean energy to nearly 500,000 households, a huge leap toward Kenya’s goal of 100% clean energy generation by 2030. Why This Matters for Construction and Development 1. Project Acceleration The IFC loan ensures that construction continues smoothly and rapidly, keeping Kenya on track to expand its baseload renewable energy capacity. 2. Energy Security Unlike solar or wind...
